Tom Thurlow, a confident 17-year-old who is launching a newspaper for teenagers.

This series is a personal challenge and risk for me as well as the entrepreneurs. I'm putting my reputation and a lot of my own money on the line.

When choosing the group earlier this year, I was looking for committed, passionate individuals with business dreams that they could turn into an amazing reality.

I've based them in Tycoon Tower on London's South Bank, where they are living and working together.

In fact, we're all working together and I'm on their case daily. I even have a webcam so I can see who's working hard.

They have my mobile number, my email address and I've told them I'm there for them 24/7.

Tycoon puts my beliefs and business principles right in the public spotlight but I'm determined to succeed.

This is a show about passion, drive and energy and for one person at the end, there is a magnificent reward for succeeding - the chance to own the business they always wanted and the chance of becoming the UK's next Tycoon.
